Team Building

If you wish to maximize the effectiveness of your team, we can help. We have experience working with teams of all sizes to identify key strengths and potential pitfalls, and we can offer guidance for team development as a one-time training event or on an ongoing basis. In consultation with you, we will design a custom team-building process to best fit your managerial and organizational needs.

Here are several popular options.

Individual Consultations and Developmental Reports. Each individual on staff meets with one of our psychologists for a two to three-hour assessment to review inventories that look at personality, leadership, and conflict management styles. We then write developmental reports that highlight each person’s strengths and points of vulnerability, and recommend the most effective ways to work with and supervise the different members of your team.

Group Assessment and Consultation. Your team spends a half day, full day, or overnight retreat with us. Through a combination of inventories and highly interactive exercises, you’ll learn how your team most effectively functions. We’ll help you apply the insights you gain from the retreat to your day-to-day work as a team.

Individual and Group Consultation.This is our most popular and effective team-building program. To help you gain an in-depth understanding of how to manage different members of your team, we’ll meet with each person, administer leadership and personality inventories, offer feedback to them about their results for professional development, and provide written reports to guide you; to build your team culture and working relationships, we’ll meet with your full team for an extended period of time, such as a half day or more, to explore strengths and opportunities for growth. The combination of the two approaches provides you with a more complete appreciation of the unique individuals on your team as well as your team’s group dynamics.
